Ackling Dyke
Yesterday's post flic.kr/p/2n5HUbD featured both pre and post-Roman history. Just a couple of miles away, this photo visits a classic Roman road. Known as Ackling Dyke, it originally ran from Old Sarum (Sorviodunum) to the hillfort of Badbury Rings (Vindocladia) a total distance of approximately 22 miles (35km). As can be seen here, it is possible to walk quite lengthy stretches on what are now public rights-of-way.
